We address, by means of Numerical Simulations, one of the main issues of the Cosmic String Galaxy Formation Scenario, namely the existence of a scaling solution, which is crucial to the very existence of the scenario. After a brief discussion of our numerical technique, we present our results which, though still preliminary, offer the best support to date of this scaling hypothesis.
